Once Upon a Time

[promethia_tenk]

Hi all. Long time, and all that . . .

For anyone following the weather, got through Hurricane Sandy fine here, with shockingly little inconvenience at all, so yay for that. Hope you all are alright as well.

Also have vacation this week \o/ However, as my vacation destination (New York) ended up under water and am fighting a cold that won't die, week off has morphed into week for staying inside out of the rain, nursing my congestion, and catching up on tv and internets. So if you finally get a reply to a comment you made three months ago . . . that's what's going on.

Have managed to watch Once Upon a Time, and as I am currently awake at 3am, waiting for my decongestants to kick in so I can breathe again, shall say that I quite like it, even if I suspect I shall not be fannish about it. That is unless they decide to kick it up several gears, which in fairness I almost imagine they could. Am mulling over thoughts about how Moff-era Who, Fringe, and OUAT are all actually the same show, in different packaging. For the time being, though, am mostly like this:

I

about Jiminy Cricket, ok?



Not all of them PG.

I'm sure you'll find your tribe. Also, sleep well!

[promethia_tenk]

Found a better icon.

It's fine *waves unconcernedly* I'll be fine. /lies

And slept well (ish), thank you.

[elisi]

Heh. Enjoy! ;)

And I did 5 exams this morning, and passed them all (Principles of Business Administration) - very dull, but useful.

[promethia_tenk]

Oooo, congrats! *throws confetti*

For being able to concentrate, if nothing else. That sounds . . . despairingly dull.

They were short, and multiple choice, but yes... There were a few instances of having to tell myself to refocus.

I decided to try to educate myself on how credit card disputes are handled the other day and it was like "I'm going to regret this, oh, I am going to regret this . . ."

That's gonna be some quality reading time next week /sarcasm

... Why would you *do* that?

[promethia_tenk]

Purely for professional reasons, I assure you.

[elisi]

Oh good. I was getting worried.

[promethia_tenk]

Fear not. I can make myself learn anything. It is my superpower.

Though if you never hear from me again, I was finally struck down by the evil forces of legalese and corporate jargon.

[elisi]

Oh dear. Well, I'll cross my fingers...

(Am going to bed. It's LATE!)

ETA: By the way, your icon is making me happy.

[promethia_tenk]

Hope you slept well.

I luff this icon. And now you know about ponies and can appreciate the GLORY \o/

The Cherub watched the pilot the other day (that's the one that lays out the whole mythology, isn't it?) and it struck me that it's all about female characters. I mean, yes all the main characters are female, but the origin story is completely based around women. And this is awesome. :)

Yup : )

It's maybe the only show I can think of in which being female is the default. Which is kinda amazing when you consider how often we are expected to think of maleness as default.
